This  littUi  booklet  is  i>reseiitP(l  to  the  public  with  two 
objects  in  view ;  one,  which  the  reader  nmst  necessarily 
iinderstaixl,  is  for  lulvertisinK  iiiirposes  and  to  better  ac- 
quaint the  general  jinblic  with  the  plans  of  the  Alaska- 
Ynkon-Klondike  Gold  Syndicate,  and  also  to  give  dellnite 
information  concerning  those  who  are  to  accompany  our 
expedition  into  that  far  away  and  perpetually  frozen 
region. 

It  is  eslinuited,  by  very  conservative  authorities,  that 
at  least  a  hundred  thousand  men  and  women  will  go  to  the 
Yukon  district  from  the  United  States  aisd  Canada  upon 
the  approach  of  Sj)ring-time  ;  and  that  fully  another  hun- 
dren  thousand  will  go  there  from  Europe. 

It  is  assumed  tluit  the  reader  is  interested  in  the  sub- 
ject of  mining,  both  quartz  and  placer,  and  that  he  is 
either  a  prospective  investor  or  one  who  desires  to  go  into 
that  region.  It  is  an  old  saying,  familiar  to  all,  that,  "  for- 
tune seldom  knocks  at  our  door"  and  when  she  does  we 
should  throw  it  wide  open  and  bid  her  "  welcome." 

Gold  mining  is,  without  doubt,  the  most  fascinating  of 
all  mining,  and  so  it  is  very  natural  when  a  discovery  is 
nnide  in  any  region,  that  there  shonld  be  a  rush  in  propor- 
tion to  the  importance  ot  the  discovery.  Tlieve  has  never 
been  in  the  history  of  the  world,  gold  discoveries  tliat 
were  as  rich  as  those  of  the  Klondike  region,  ralifornia 
amazed  the  world  ;  she  has  had  ttfty  years  iii  which  to 
estal)liHh  a  reputation  ;  Klondike  has  had  less  tlian  one 
year,  and  tliat  year  has  far  surpassed  the  early  years  of  the 
California  discoveries.  Carefully  selected  mining  invest- 
ments are  sure  to  prove  uf  great  value  and  yield  enormous 
returns.

and  it  is  estimated  by  government  experts  who  have 
observed  the  "clean  up"  that  has  not  reached  civilization.

that  fully  seventy  millions  of  dollars  in  ilust  and  nnggets 
will  be  broufjlit  down  dnrinjf  the  next  season.  When  mil- 
lions of  gold  can  be  taken  ont  in  a  single  year  under  the 
most  disadvanta;:^iH)us  conditions,  with  a  climate  extremely 
severe  and  the  operators  working  witii  the  most  primitive 
instruments  known  to  the  miner's  art,  it  is  ditticnlt  indeed 
to  conceive  the  fabulous  amounts  that  must  be  yielded 
up  when  capital,  experience  and  modern  equipments  are 
applied. 

During  the  montli  of  September  last,  the  Alaska- 
Yukon-Klondike  (lold  Syndicate  was  incorporated  under 
the  laws  of  the  State  of  Maine  with  an  authorized  capital 
of  live  hundred  thousand  dollars.  The  Syndicate  is  author- 
ized by  its  liberal  cliarter  privileges,  granted  by  the  State 
of  Maine,  to  buy,  sell,  i)urchase  and  hold  mineral,  personal 
and  real  estate,  to  operate  mines  and  mining  properties  as 
well  as  to  prospect  for  and  locate  them,  and  to  carry  on 
any  other  business  that  may  be  necessary  for  the  success- 
ful carrying  out  of  the  i)lans  of  the  organization. 

It  will  send,  during  the  month  of  March  of  next  year, 
an  expedition  of  about  twenty-five  men  into  the  Yukon- 
Klondike  region.  These  men  will  be  thoroughly  equipped 
to  take  the  greatest  possible  advantage  of  every  condition 
that  may  be  found  ;  they  will  not  go  in  as  employees  but 
each  is  witliin  himself  a  partner  of  the  Syndicate.  Each 
man  is  i-equired  by  contract  to  hold  or  represent  at  least 
one  thousand  shares,  fully  paid  for  at  its  par  value,  of  the 
capital  stock  of  the  Syndicate  in  order  to  become  a  mem- 
ber of  the  expedition.  He  receives  no  salary  for  his  ser- 
vices, which  he  contracts  to  give  for  eighteen  months  in 
prospecting,  locating  and  acquiring  mineral  claims  in  Alas- 
ka and  the  northwest  territory  of  British  North  America,

but  when  he  locates  a  claim,  forty-nine  per  cent,  of  its 
product  belongs  to  him,  anil  Hftyone  per  cent,  to  the  stock 
of  the  corporation,  that  is,  it  is  divided  pro  rata  anions  all 
wh(»  have  contributed  to  the  expense  of  the  expedition,  so 
that  each  member  is  interested  directly  and  financially  in 
every  claim  that  each  of  the  entire  expedition  shall  locate  ; 
so  that  when  one  member  of  the  expedition  shall  make  a 
discovery,  he  will  he  anxious  to  have  the  information  con- 
veyetl  to  the  members  of  his  own  party  first,  so  that  as 
many  claims  as  possible  may  be  staked  by  his  associates 
before  any  outside  party  shall  learn  of  the  discovery.  In 
this  manner  each  member  of  the  expedition  has  twenty- 
four  men  beside  himself,  all  co-operating  and  working  to 
secure  claims  for  him,  and  when  one  member  discovers  pay 
gravel  or  quartz  veins  every  other  member  of  the  expedi- 
tion and  every  stockholder,  whether  there  or  at  home, 
receives  his  proportion  or  part  of  fifty-one  per  cent,  of  the 
claims  discovered. 

A  fair  Klondike  claim  is  worth  one  hundred  thousand 
.lollars.  The  Rothschild's  Syndicate  has  offered  to  pay  one 
million  and  two  hundred  thousand  dollars  for  any  ten 
consecutive  Klondike  claims  on  either  Bonanza,  Eldorado 
or  Hunker  Creeks,  or  one  hundred  thousand  dollars  each. 
Now  it  is  the  purpose  of  this  Syndicate  to  sell  fifty  thou- 
sand shares  of  the  stock,  one-half  of  which  is  taken  by  the 
nieml)ers  of  the  expedition  who  go  into  the  field,  the  other 
half  to  be  subscribed  for  those  who  do  not  wish  to  stand 
the  rigors  of  the  Alaskan  winter  and  who  at  the  same  time 
desire  to  share  in  the  immense  profits  that  must  be  derived 
from  an  exi»edition  composed  of  men  who  not  only  put  in 
their  mojiey,  but  a  year  and  a  half  of  their  time,  receiving

no  coinpensiition  other  tliaii  food,  cloUiiiiK  and  shelter, 
unless  they  succeed  in  locating  claims. 

All  subscriptions  are  to  back  these  men  who  have  each 
a  thousand  (h)llars  of  money  an<l  a  year  an<l  a  half  of  time 
at  stake,  and  with  twenty-five  men  of  this  class  working 
for  you,  your  investment  is  bound  to  yield  a  hundred  fold. 
"We  have  no  hesitancy  in  saying,  and  we  believe  that  it 
cannot  be  contradicted,  that  there  is  no  enterprise  that 
will  go  into  Alaska  in  the  coming  spring  so  well  equipped 
and  with  so  many  elements  of  success  as  will  our  organiza- 
tion. Remember  that  every  man  who  accompanies  the 
expedition  has  placed  a  thousand  dollars  in  the  stock  of 
the  Syndicate  ;  remember  that  he  gives  a  year  an«l  a  half 
of  his  time  and  liis  money  to  help  make  your  investment 
pay  ;  remember  that  each  man  is  carefully  picked  with 
regard  to  his  moral,  social,  intellectual  and  physical  qualitl- 
cations;  remember  that  if  one  fair  Klondike  claim  is  staked

First  we  prt'SPiit  ii  splciidiil  likeness  of  our  I'resiaeiit, 
Hon  FrtMl  K.  Beaiie.  Kx-Miivor  of  Hallowell,  tlie  present 
Secretary  of  tlie  Denioeratic  State  ("onimittee  and  also  the 
present  Supreme  Kepresentative  of  K.  ..f  P.  <.f  tlie  world. 
Next,  we  present  a  portrait  of  onr  Vice-I'resulent,  Mr. 
C  E.  Jeffrey,  of  Hiddeford,  who  is  too  well  known  in  the 
western  section  of  onr  State  to  need  any  introduction.  Mr. 
Tcttrey  has  been  a  successful  (Jeneral  Insurance  ARcnt 
for  many  years,  and  at  present  has  charge  of  tlie  business 
of  one  of  Maine's  largest  companies. 

We  next  present  tlie  portrait  of  (»ur  Treasurer,  Col. 
Win  .1.  Mavbury,  M.  D..  Surgeon  General  of  Maine  on  the 
staff  of  His  Kxcellency,  Governor  Powers.  Col.  Maybnry 
is  also  too  well  known  to  require  commendation. 

The  next  is  a  portrait  of  William  II.  Jeffrey,  the 
Secretary,  who  has  for  several  years  been  identified  witJi 

the  ,)ress  of  Maine.  ^    ,  »,. 

The  next  portrait  is  that  of  our  Superintendent  of  Min- 
ing, Mr.  Geo.  H.  Davis,  late  of  the  Holy  Cross  Mines,  Col- 
orado. Mr.  Davis,  as  a  miner  and  expert,  lias  but  few 
eiiuals  and  no  superiors  in  this  country,  and  the  fact  of  the 
mining  feature  of  our  enterprise  being  under  the  direction 
of  one  of  so  large  an  experience  and  of  whose  ability  and 
energy  there  is  no  question,  is  certainly  a  guarantee  that 
nothing  will  be  left  undone  that  would  tend  to  make  our 
operations  more  succe-ssful.  Mr.  Davis  will  accompany 
and  have  charge  of  the  advance  party  that  will  precede  the 
main  expedition  by  about  one  month. 

The  remaining  portraits  are  of  men  who  are  well  known 
in  their  respective  towns.  Each  is  strong,  able  bodied,  in- 
telligent and  hardv,  witli  determination,  pluck  and  persev-

and  yours  worth  a  liundred  times  its  par  value. 

We  should  be  pleased  to  have  any  wh..  are  interested 
in  this  enterprise  to  investigate  into  the  standing  of  the 
Syndicate  and  its  officers,  or  make  i.iqniry  as  to  the  stand- 
ing, socially,  financially  or  physically,  of  any  member  of  the 
expedition  that  is  to  go  into  Alaska. 

As  soon  as  the  expedition  arrives  at  Dawson  City,  the 
men  will  divide  up  into  small  prospecting  parties  and  scat- 
ter over  a  vast  »  of  country  seeking  for  gold,  maintain- 
ing a  general  h'  matters  where  some  twenty-five  tons  of 
food,  clothing  1.  .  .  implements  necessary  to  carry  on  the.i 
work,  will  be  stored.  Weekly  reports  will  be  «ent  hack  to 
headquarters  so  that  the  entire  party  will  know  all  the  t  m e 
iust  where  each  is  located  and  be  prepared,  at  a  moment  s

otiier  mineral  States,  and  he  assured  nie  that  the  extent  of 
the  lode  is  sncli  that  these  two  claims  are  greater  than  any 
propositicni  in  the  world.  On  Bear  Creek  a  (inartz  claim 
was  located  last  winter,  and  I  dn-w  up  the  papers  for  the 
owner.  He  had  to  swear  that  he  had  found  gold;  he  swore 
that  he  did,  and  he  told  me  the  amount,  which,  if  true,  will 
make  it  one  of  the  most  valuable  properties  that  exists  in 

the  country. 

On  Gold  Hottom  another  claim  has  been  located,  and  1 
nnule  a  test  of  the  ore.  I  had  no  sieve,  and  had  to  employ 
a  hand  mortar,  which  yon  who  know  anything  of  the  work 
will  understand  would  not  give  best  results.  The  poorest 
result  obtained  was,  however,  one  hundred  dollars  to  the 
ton,  while  the  richest  was  one  thousand  dollars.  About 
thirty  miles  up  the  Klondike  another  claim  was  located, 
and  the  man  swore  that  it  was  rich,  although  he  wouldn't 
say  how  rich.  That  mother  lode  is  yet  to  be  found  in  the 
ridges  between  the  creeks,  and  when  it  is  found  it  may  be 
found  to  consist  of  several  large  lodes,  or  a  succession  of 
small  ones. 

THE  UPS  AND  DOWNS. 

In  one'clean-up,  eighty  pounds  avoirdupois  of  gold  was 
taken  out,  or  a  total  value  of  about  sixteen  thousand  dol- 
lars When  vou  consider  that  the  securing  of  this  amount 
took  the  ..-.>:tcd  labors  of  six  men  for  three  months,  you 
can  understand  that  there  is  considerable  cost  connected 
with  the  operation. 

One  man  who  owns  a  claim  on  Eldorado  and  one  on 
Bonanza,  has  sold  out,  it  is  said,  for  a  million  dollars.    He

went  into  the  country  a  poor  man  with  tlie  intention  of 
raisinK  HntHcicnt  nictney  to  pay  off  the  inortRage  on  his 
place.  He  has,  1  Itelieve,  not  only  done  so,  but  paid  off 
those  of  all  his  neighhors. 

Mr.  OKilvie  Rave  valuable  details  of  observations  of 
temperature,  and  concerning  the  limited  jiossibilities  of  the 
Yukon  for  Rardening,  and  also  told  some  interesting  stories 
of  game  hunting. 

Mr.  Ogilvie  concluded,  "  We  have  there  a  vast  region 
comprising  from  ninety  thousand  to  one  hundred  thou- 
sand square  miles  of  untold  possibilities.  Rich  deposits  we 
knov-  to  exist,  and  all  may  be  as  rich.  We  know  now  that 
there  is  sufficient  to  supply  a  population  of  a  huiulred 
thousand  people,  and  I  look  forward  to  seeing  that  number 
of  people  in  that  country  within  the  next  ten  years." 

A  FAITHFUL  PUBLIC  SERVANT. 

Sir  Charles  Tapper,  Bart.,  moved  "a  hearty  vote  of 
thanks  to  Mr.  Ogilvie  for  the  able  and  instructive  lecture 
which  has  so  interested  us  to-night." 

Lieutenant-Governor  Dewdney,  in  seconding  the  vote 
of  thanks,  declared  that  when  he  was  Minister  of  the  Inte- 
rior, Mr.  Ogilvie  was  one  of  his  most  valuable  officers. 

The  vote  of  thanks  being  tendered  by  the  whole  audi- 
ence rising,  the  meeting  closed.
